> I was on Effexor Xr for about a year. This was my last choice after trying every SSRI out there. At first I loved it I thought I found the right medication. My panic attacks decreased and my depression was lifted. That was until I gained 25 pounds very quickly. I was bothered since I was always very thin ,but suprisingly not as bothered as my friends and family were. Then I noticed after a few months the intial high that I felt decreased into a almost sedated mode. I was sleeping more and tired all the time. I also cared less about things. I knew that this is not what I wanted but felt content not having the panic attacks and was scared to death of withdrawl. Well last week I went to the doctor and he advised me to go from my 150 daily(which I told him for the last month I was taking every other day against his advise) to 37.5 every day for a week and then that is it. This is my fourth day and I feel okay. I have the almost electrical sensations in my head and some of my anxiety has returned but I have been keeping a positive attitude and hoping to lose some of my effexor weight. If anyone has lost all of their weight please let me know.
